The jazz and harp duo is a strange and unusual pair, but they get on well with each other in Ede Terényi’s "Jazz" Harp Concerto. Terényi is a prolific composer with a multi-faceted career; in his compositions, you can find a variety of, genres from the folk music inspired ones to the “serialist” works, from music graphics to neo-baroque. In his oeuvre, he likes experimenting with neo-styles and composing different homage. The "Jazz " is his second concerto for this instrument; with the special composition, he pays a tribute Gershwin.

 

The harp competition would be framed by symphonies of Mozart and Schumann. Mozart's 'Small' Symphony in G minor was created during the Sturm und Drang, at the time when the demands for extreme representation of emotions popped up in music, too. All this led to appearance of a new genre of melodrama. The musical tools of melodrama i echoed in Mozart's first symphony written in minor, as well. Schumann was inspired by a tour he and his wife made along the Rhine River, hence the title of the symphony. During the trip, the couple visited also the Dom of Cologne, which so impressed the composer that he  chose the E flat major, referring to the Holy Trinity, as tonic of the symphony; and this is just one of the numerous attachment points with the experiences in the cathedral one can find in this work.

TIn the harp concerto, the Russian-born Anasztázia Razvaljajeva, Junior Prima Award winning harpist will be the orchestra’s partner. The ensemble steps onto the stage cunducted by Ola Rudner.
